The concrete plug in an underground cavern prevents the stored product (oil, gas, etc) from leaking and the excessive show of underground water, so it plays an important role in construction and operation of the storage cavern. Additionally, it should maintain its stability under every possible loading condition. Once the plug is constructed, the cavern is isolated from the external access. Therefore, mechanical and hydraulic consideration should be made in construction to fulfill its function. Therefore, in this study, numerical analyses were conducted to study the optimal shape and thickness of the plug with respect to the various conditions of installation depth, the shape of the plug, in-situ stress ratio (K), the condition of rock-plug interface, and the effect of Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ). This paper also presents the effect of slot depth on the hydraulic behavior of the plug. These analyses were carried out by using the 2-dimensional finite difference code, rm FLAC, and the 3D code, m FLA $C^{3D}$./.

횡유입에 의한 합류부에서는 통상 하천에 비해 수위, 유속 등의 수리학적으로 불안정한 수리특성이 나타난다. 이로 인한 합류부의 배수효과는 합류점뿐만 아니라 합류점 상류의 본류와 지류의 수위 및 유속 변화로 홍수나 태풍에 영향을 가중시켜 더 큰 피해를 가져온다. 따라서 합류부의 특성을 정확히 파악하여 하천의 안정적 기능을 유지하여야 한다. 본 논문은 2차원 동수역학 해석모형인 SMS(1999)의 RMA-2를 이용하여 합류부의 특성을 분석하였다. 합류부의 특성을 파악하기 위한 모형수로 실험을 한 박용섭(2003)의 실험자료를 이용하여 같은 조건으로 RMA-2 해석에 적용하였다. 이에 따른 횡유입의 분리구역 현상을 RMA-2의 분석결과로 확인 할 수 있으며 박용섭(2003)의 실험자료와 비교분석 하였다.

해저 지하 구조물을 시공할 경우는 높은 수압 및 침투압 등의 영향이 무시될 수 없으므로 지하저장 공동의 정확한 거동평가를 위해서는 수리-역학적 해석이 수행되어야만 한다. 또한, 실무에서는 암반이완하중을 고려하여 터널의 콘크리트 라이닝을 설계하며, 이를 위해 이완하중고를 터널 주변의 국부안전율 분포를 이용하여 수치해석에 의해 산정하는 방법이 제안된바 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해저터널을 대상으로 수리-역학적 연계해석 시 국부안전율을 이용한 이완하중고 산정 기법의 타당성을 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 3등급 암반을 대상으로 숏크리트 수리특성을 이용한 유도배수방법과 집수정의 펌핑을 이용한 유도배수방법을 이용하여 이완하중고를 산정하고 적용성을 비교하였다. 연구 결과 연계해석 시 해저시설물의 안전율 및 이완하중고를 정확하게 산정하기 위해서는 집수정의 펌핑을 이용하여 유도배수하는 모델링 방법이 보다 정확하고 일관성 있는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

유입되는 담수의 영향을 크게 받는 한 하구 (미국 버지니아주의 요크강)의 크기별 식물성플랑크통의 역학에 대한 수리역학적 조절에 대한 조사를 위해 플랑크톤 생태계모델이 계발되었다. 모델은 요크강 하류의 상부층에서의 탄소 및 영양염의 분포를 나타내는 12개의 구성체 변수로 이루어져 있다. 빛, 온도, 바람, 해류 그리고 조수와 같이 이송과 혼합을 일으키는 물리적 변수들로 포함하고 있다. 모델은 포트란으로 계발되었고 Runge- Kutta technique을 이용해 미분방정식을 풀었다. 모델분석 결과, 크기가 큰 마이크로 식물성플랑크톤의 수화는 수체내의 생산보다는 이송이나 확산 때문에 나타나는 것임을 알 수 있었다.

하천사업이 자연친화적인 사업으로 변화하면서 친수성을 가진 다양한 형태들의 호안블록이 개발되고 있다. 호안블록의 다양성에 비해 유수에 대한 안정성을 검증할 수 있는 항력 양력계수, 상당조도 등의 수리특성인자에 대한 연구가 미진한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수리모형 실험을 통해 호안블록의 역학적인 특성을 분석하여 유수가 호안블록에 미치는 영향을 규명하였으며, 호안공법에 대한 수리모형 실험방법의 적용성을 모색하였다. 수리실험은 수로의 상류로부터 수류의 안정화가 이루어지는 9m 지점의 수로 바닥에 블록을 설치하였으며, 4분력계와 전자유속계를 이용하여 수리특성인자의 계측을 실시하였다. 단체실험은 형태가 다른 6개의 호안블록을 이용하여 실험을 실시하였으며, 단체실험결과에 의한 항력과 양력이 양호한 호안 4로 군체실험을 실시하였다. 군체 실험을 통해 상당조도가 0.163에서 0.165로 증가하는 것으로 확인되었으며, 상당조도의 증가에 따른 유속 저감 정도를 파악할 수 있었다.

This study presents the research results of the BMT(Benchmark Model Test) simulations of the DECOVALEX-2019 project Task B. Task B named 'Fault slip modelling' is aiming at developing a numerical method to predict fault reactivation and the coupled hydro-mechanical behavior of fault. BMT scenario simulations of Task B were conducted to improve each numerical model of participating group by demonstrating the feasibility of reproducing the fault behavior induced by water injection. The BMT simulations consist of seven different conditions depending on injection pressure, fault properties and the hydro-mechanical coupling relations. TOUGH-FLAC simulator was used to reproduce the coupled hydro-mechanical process of fault slip. A coupling module to update the changes in hydrological properties and geometric features of the numerical mesh in the present study. We made modifications to the numerical model developed in Task B Step 1 to consider the changes in compressibility, Permeability and geometric features with hydraulic aperture of fault due to mechanical deformation. The effects of the storativity and transmissivity of the fault on the hydro-mechanical behavior such as the pressure distribution, injection rate, displacement and stress of the fault were examined, and the results of the previous step 1 simulation were updated using the modified numerical model. The simulation results indicate that the developed model can provide a reasonable prediction of the hydro-mechanical behavior related to fault reactivation. The numerical model will be enhanced by continuing interaction and collaboration with other research teams of DECOVALEX-2019 Task B and validated using the field experiment data in a further study.

The thermal-hydrological-mechanical (T-H-M) behavior of rock mass surrounding a high-temperature cavern thermal energy storage (CTES) operated for a period of 30 years has been investigated by TOUGH2-FLAC3D simulator. As a fundamental study for the development of prediction and control technologies for the environmental change and rock mass behavior associated with CTES, the key concerns were focused on the hydrological-thermal multiphase flow and the consequential mechanical behavior of the surrounding rock mass, where the insulator performance was not taken into account. In the present study, we considered a large-scale cylindrical cavern at shallow depth storing thermal energy of $350^{\circ}C$. The numerical results showed that the dominant heat transfer mechanism was the conduction in rock mass, and the mechanical behavior of rock mass was influenced by thermal factor (heat) more than hydrological factor (pressure). The effective stress redistribution, displacement and surface uplift caused by heating of rock and boiling of ground-water were discussed, and the potential of shear failure was quantitatively examined. Thermal expansion of rock mass led to the ground-surface uplift on the order of a few centimeters and the development of tensile stress above the storage cavern, increasing the potential of shear failure.

$CO_2$ sequestration for alleviating global warming is a hot issue in the world. In this study, TOUGH2 and FLAC3D were combined for analyzing the hyro-mechanical coupling behaviors expected in $CO_2$ sequestration and applied it to Sleipner project carried out in Norway. In the analysis, the influence of pore pressure on in situ stress was considered and the influence of caprock permeability on hydro-mechanical behaviors was analyzed. In the condition of constant injection rate, pressure and saturation at the injection well, liquid and gas saturation in rock, major and minor stress variations with time and distance from the injection well, and horizontal and vertical displacements after injection could be investigated. The major principal stress was quickly increased in the early stage and then slowly decreased to a stable value, which was higher than the initial value. In contrast, the minor principal stress returned to initial value after some increase in the early stage. Surface upheaval was steadily increased and it was up to 15mm in 2 years after injection. When the caprock's permeability was changed from $3e-15m^2{\sim}3e-18m^2$, it was found that the injection well pressure and surface upheaval were inversely propotional to the permeability.
